Stephen Michael Gleeson (born 3 August 1988) is an Ireland international footballer who plays as a midfielder for Birmingham City. ==Club career== Born in Dublin, Gleeson played for Cherry Orchard before moving to England to join Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he received a three-year contract at the start of May 2006 having come up through the club's Academy. In the 2006–07 season he went on loan to Stockport County for three months, making his senior debut on 11 November 2006 in a 2–1 victory at Exeter City in the FA Cup. He impressed at County, scoring two goals from midfield and playing an influential part in their nine match winning streak, without conceding a goal. On returning to Wolves, he made four substitute appearances, including in their play-off semi-final second-leg defeat at West Bromwich Albion. The following season, his only first-team appearance for the club came in a League Cup game.〔 To gain playing time, he joined League Two Hereford United on 21 February 2008 on a month's loan. However, this was unsuccessful and fans became annoyed with his attitude, especially during a match against Stockport where Gleeson showed no desire throughout the match, prompting an early end to the loan spell. After spending a couple of days back with his home club, Gleeson returned on loan to Stockport County on 26 March 2008 until the end of the season. His first goal after his return to Edgeley Park was at Wycombe Wanderers in the play-off semi-final. Gleeson then appeared in the Wembley final where the club won promotion to League One after beating Rochdale.〔 His semi-final goal was later voted Stockport's ''Goal of 2008'' by fans, and also chosen by manager Jim Gannon as his favourite goal of the year. His association with Stockport continued again the following season as he spent the first half of the campaign on loan again with them. He returned to his parent club but again went out on loan, this time to League One club Milton Keynes Dons in March 2009 for the remainder of the season. He helped the club reach the play-offs, but suffered ankle ligament damage which led him to miss their unsuccessful bid for promotion to the Championship. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephen Gleeson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
